Coti Howell

Coti Howell was born and raised a music lover, and growing up in Nashville only increased her love affair with country music. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga graduate cut her teeth in Journalism as a television reporter for the campus news station before working as an on-air reporter for Inside Music Row. She took some time off to travel and lived abroad in Bangkok before returning to the States to rejoin her one true love: Music Journalism. Howell worked as the entertainment reporter for AL.com in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and freelanced for Nashville publications before joining Taste of Country. In her spare time, she loves traveling the world, tweeting, shopping, spending time with friends and family and, of course, going to live shows!

Having a big name has its perks for hockey fan Vince Gill, who has been appointed to the Nashville Predators Foundation's board of directors! That means he'll be serving as one of the team's voices during certain games.

Jason Aldean is already burning up the charts with his new album, 'Old Dirt, New Boots,' and he stopped by 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' to heat up the stage with 'Just Gettin' Started' on the day of its release (Oct. 7).

Savannah Berry's Taste of Country cover video this week is a song originally sung by a friend of hers. Berry tries her hand at fellow 'The Voice' contestant RaeLynn's 'God Made Girls,' putting her own spin on the sweet anthem about how special ladies truly are.

Brantley Gilbert will do anything in the name of love! The star took some precious time during a stop at Mobile, Alabama's BayFest music festival on Oct. 5 to marry one very lucky couple, creating a once-in-a-lifetime memory.

Kyle Park sure knows how to throw a party ... and it all starts with a golf ball. In his 'Turn That Crown Upside Down' video -- premiering exclusively on Taste of Country -- the Texas hitmaker gets down with a few friends.

Even with a new album release so close she can almost taste it, Taylor Swift is adding to her calendar. The 'Shake it Off' singer will soon hit the small screen, as she's been confirmed as a mentor for season of 'The Voice.'

More information on the highly anticipated forthcoming Garth Brooks album is slowly trickling in. The legend -- who is making a monstrous comeback in 2014 -- has announced the title, 'Man Against Machine,' along with the cover art.
